Dating in New York City is questionable at best.Everyone feels that they already know this thanks to the fearless foursome of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte but I am here to confirm that in New York City there are creepers to be creeped out by IN MASS.
My main evidence to support this fact is that my wonderful, beautiful, talented and gainfully employed group of female friends is, for the most part, single. A few have met lovely men and gotten married and I've had splendid times at their weddings. But, for most of us who remain, the concept of picking out a big white dress, finding a florist and debating which family members make the cut for the guest list is a long, LONG way off.
This used to not bother anyone. After all, we had each other! I could gaze into the eyes of my girlfriends over meals, drinks, movies and a lazy Sunday. But recently (perhaps due to our maturity or perhaps do the the fear that we are becoming boyfriendless freakshows) this isn't exactly enough.
So what has happened? My friends have stepped it up! Some have dated friends of friends, gotten "more involved" in the bar scene thanks to the encouragement of wiser friends who know that standing in the girl circle is not the way to go - and others, most of us in fact, have logged online.
This age of digital dating I will say, makes for excellent fodder for brunch conversations.
The good: "I met a hot guy from Paris with an amazing accent, flowing hair and tan."
The bad:
Me: "Hey check this guy out, he messaged me - maybe I should respond?"
Concerned Friend: "Um, he has no eyebrows. Are you sure you want to do that?"
And now... the ugly.
My posse, thank god, has yet to really experience the ugly of dating. But, last night, as I was trolling through my own matches online (please note - I have not actually mustered up the physical strength it takes to message anyone or speak to anyone, I just creep around looking at profiles like a total socially stunted recluse) I found one profile that may be a joke or may mean this person is certifiable.
This today, is my gift to all of you.... I hope this makes your heart soar with joy that love can be found. Or, I hope it boosts your "my single status is my choice" confidence.
And, should Chris Hansen check out this posting I do hope Dateline tries to track this person down as I am quite positive he can be found in an arcade, with children (named Nicole?), texting on his cell phone while listening to Carrie Underwood.

MY SELF SUMMARY

I will respect your every decision and your wishes, give you space and time to be with your friends and family and most importantly I will always and forever keep praying for you and I will trust you with my heart because knowing that we share a love for God together, I can trust you with my heart, knowing that you will never break it in two.

WHAT I AM DOING WITH MY LIFE
I currently work full time Wednesdays through Sundays at a bank in beautiful downtown Wilmington. It's a cool amazing job that helps me pay the bills. I love adventuring and going out to many shopping Malls, restaurants, bowling alleys and of course video game arcades around here too. I do this not just for me, but for all the kids out there, making sure they have a great time and I love seeing the smiles on their faces. Seeing them happy really makes me feel like a kid all over again.
Yes I play video games in the arcades and try my very best to get those high scores, but I don't just play. I make sure the game works, is in good working condition and also I check and make sure the place is safe for the kids to play too. I am always on the lookout for new places and new arcades to play and new exciting adventures too.
I AM REALLY GOOD AT
Being very creative. I am not one of those ordinary guys that would just give a dozen red roses... I would do one better for the lady and be even more creative when it comes to being romantic and expressing my love. I would do my part to express my love for her to the whole world. Not just telling her how much I love You but I would show you how much I Love You. I would come up with even more sweet unique different things to show the lady just how much I care.
I am also really good at texting. I text on my cell phone rather than talk on the phone, but if you want to talk that is cool with me too. I am looking for new friends and if it leads to something more than that's amazing, but if not, that's amazing too, you can never have enough friends.
THE FIRST THINGS PEOPLE USUALLY NOTICE ABOUT ME
My hair, my eyes, my smile
FAVORITE BOOKS, MOVIES, SHOWS, MUSIC AND FOOD
Video game magazines or WWE magazines. Any good Philly book would be good too.
Not much of a moviegoer. I've seen just a few movies in the theater... Zombieland, Robots, Twilight: New Mood, Disney's Christmas Carol.
When I do go to a movie theater, i usually check to see if there is an Arcade there and that is where you would see me play. On November 29, 2010, I scored my highest score ever on Turbo Speed Ms. Pac-Man at a movie theater in Delaware putting up a score of 873,660 points. I was so happy.
Music: Country music is near and dear to my heart. I also enjoy American Idol and Christan music. My favorite American Idol would have to be Carrie Underwood. I was sooooo hapy to see her win American Idol in 2005. I went to see their concert in Philly on July 24, 20005. I was sooo much fun!!!!!
Food: Pizza!! A pizza and past large, extra cheese pizza. Sometimes I can even eat the whole pizza without taking a drink, it's that moist and yummy.
THE SIX THINGS I COULD NEVER DO WITHOUT
1. Ms Pac-Man
2. My video game collection
3. My HDTV and DTV I have two TVs in my room
4. DART buses I love riding buses
5. My cellphone
6. Phillies Baseball Go Phillies!
I SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT
How I can get an even bigger high score playing Ms. Pac-Man turbo speed. I have the game right here on my computer so I practice all the time. I came up with tons of secrets and tips for playing and beating the game of Ms. Pac-Man but I'm not afraid to try something different every now and then and I'm willing to share my secrets to beating the game with you. My biggest secret to beating the game is that I always eat the dots around the top and bottom of the maze.
ON A TYPICAL FRIDAY NIGHT I AM
Watching WWE Friday Night Smackdown. I love watching the pay per views and making my own predictions on who will win each match and me and my brother love making our own predictions on the WWE pay per view matches. I also love playing video games on the weekends.
THE MOST PRIVATE THING I AM WILLING TO ADMIT
My secrets to playing Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man turbo speed games.
